That's weird.
Are you s-off or s-on?
Have you tried multiple ROMS? (Bruce'ss CM10, AOKP, that new minimalist CM10?)
If you've just tried one, start by redownloading the ROM. You will get the instalation aborted error if the ROM.zip is bad.
Also, did you do a full wipe (Not superwipe) from 4EXT? You will need to if going from ICS to JB. But that shouldn't prevent the ROM from installing (it just won't work properly).
//nvm
S-OFF, FUL wipe coming from ISC re-downloaded rom like 6 times and iv'e tried them all they wont install yet ICS rom's will

I HATE problems like this because they make absolutely no sense. They are the ones that make you want to lay your phone down on the sidewalk and bash it repeatedly with a cinder block. So I understand your pain!
The worst part is that they almost always have the simpliest sollutions imaginable.
Are you using 4EXT or CWM?
Has a JB rom ever worked on your phone?
Can you install a fresh ICS ROM from scratch (meaning not just restore a nandroid) just to make sure recovery is working properly?
No matter if ICS installed fresh or not, you might try reflashing recovery. Maybe that's what's borked up somehow. Plus it' sone of those thigns that can't make it worse so why not try it?

That's a thing!
It's stupid, but it's a thing. Formatting the SD card has been known to solve a variety of ROM problems, app problems, and help with male pattern baldness. It's the goofiest thing, but it works randomly.
Glad you're fixed up.

Ok. So ever since I've had this device it's been rooted and as such, i've tried a number of roms. The problem is whenever I start with a rom I really enjoy (currently the stock one... go figure) then i do a nandroid back up.. try a new one.. to find some glaring shortcoming i just have to have (a2dp) and try to restore my nandroid. On my G2 this process was absolutely seamless!
What happens is i restore nandroid... but it doesn't restore my apps... all the space is definitely gone.. like they're in teh file system and cards... but they don't show up in teh launcher and my wallpaper is back to stock... just as if i had a stock device.
Any ideas?

Does this happens with all your nandroids or only one specifically?

So far... none of them have worked. however... they all happen to be backups of the stock rom.. don't think I've ever tried restoring any other rom.

What version of CWM are you using?
Sent From My G2x Running CM7 Nightly 70
Are you initiating the backups thru rom manager or directly from recovery? If you're initiating them from rom manager try booting directly into recovery and then making a backup.
I'm using 3.0.2.7 (the one that rom manager tells me to use). but i always backup while booting directly into CWRM because as we all know... Rom Manager doesn't see the external SD but CWRM does.
I would reflash CWM again.
Do a Nandroid, put it in the sd card and try restoring again.

I think your problem is that you're using rom manager. Try doing it the real way (nvflash).
Rom manager is great on phones in which it doesn't use fakeflash, but I would stay away from the program on phones in which it utilizes fakeflash.

Always a relief to get something working lol. Glad you got it working.
so, last night my phone was acting wierd... slow, battery was getting destroyed literally in an hour or two so i cleaned it up..
somehow i lost clockwork recovery... no flippin idea what happened, i never flashed or installed anything, but i went to do a backup and all i got was samsung recovery.
i did not lose root...
tried to install via rom manager and it said it worked... yeah whatever, that program is rubbish and ALWAYS says it worked...
anyways rebooted to a black screen but the capacitive buttons would light up if i touched them.
finally it installed but nothing worked and the phone locked up.
by the way rom manager installed CWM 3.0.0.8 (orange)
so now i had to completely blow out the phone, reroot, reinstall CWM (which worked the first time) but nothing is working in clockwork again.
back up.. nope says error backing up.. thats it
restore... nope, something about only having 8gb of space on my SDcard
i can wipe cache,, or so it seems.
but
if i wipe dalvik it locks the phone and i completely lose CWM again.
its acting like CWM is only temporary or something.
so what the heck.. i have never seen this before... ever.
I cant do anything with regards to bqcking up or restoring.
I cant.flash anything either even though rom manager boots to a portion of cwm which tries to flash a eom. But the phone just reboots.

In fairness, it's not immediately clear what you did after getting CWM Orange 3 installed---and really, ROM Manager should only ever be used on our phones if you're using the latest (CWM 4) on an MTD ROM.
That said: IF you think you need to do this (it sounds like if you got CM7 installed, you don't, but offering the advice all the same): take foxfire450's advice. Then do the entire process all over again. I've heard of people having issues with a lagfux or MTD removal unless they did the process twice. You might even consider the RFS Formatter if you're still having trouble.
Again though, that's all largely academic if you're running fine now. *shrug* Up to you to try if you think it's worth bothering at this point.
I NEED YOUR HELP!!!
I have a Shift that is making me sick
Here is the dilema:
I am able to perm root the phone but I cannot for the life of me get it to take a custom rom. I also cannot get the phone to revert to stock. I have tried RUU, I have tried PG06IMG.ZIP ... I have searched left and right, day and night .. I am ready to chuck this phone at the next person I see walking down the street!!!
I don't know what to do I just want to be able to flash custom roms and if I need to return to stock .. but I can't. All it does is go back to stock rom but it does not wipe any of my data, it stays unlocked and my banner stays the same. I have noticed my PRL keeps changing from what I have flashed, which is fine this one seems to be better.
Also it seems as if my recovery is not wiping dalvic and there is no stock recovery .. which maybe normal. I have tried everything I can think of .. any suggestions besides blind siding an innocent bystander with this hunk of junk!!??
Running 2.2 on 1.17.651.1
I just want to return to stock so I can start all over and try to get this to run customs.. at least. But before you say flash this PG06IMG.ZIP (234mbs) or RUU .. please note that I have tried. Unless yours has magical powers I have flashed it. It won't work.. I have tried factory reset, format all except sd card... I might just try that for the hell of it. Please help
***UPDATE****
I WAS ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY SETUP ... IF YOU ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND ARE HAVING TROUBLE LIKE I WAS.
HERE IS THE SOLUTION:
Make sure you have the latest recovery. I had clockwork 2.0.5 I think was the version, it was not wiping dalvic or something this is what was causing all my hair to fall out.
I downloaded Rom manager and flashed clockwork recovery, the recovery now is updated to version 5.0 or something like that. I can now say it works and saved some poor innocent person from being pegged in the back of the head from a flying shift .. XD

The problem is all newer ROMs use Amend scripting which CWM prior to 3.0 doesn't support.
Hi guys,
I know there's been lots of cases such as this but I am frustrated and don't know what to do. Been searching for answers but couldn't find an exact answer pertaining to my problem.
I recently flashed Coredroid to my Inspire 4g and for some reason, every time the screen times out, my phone hot-restart's by itself.
Anyone know what's going on?

what did you have on there previously? did you full wipe? data/cache/dalvik? are you overclocking or undervolting?which version of coredroid? and what did you use to flash the rom?

I had LeeDroid V5.1.1.
I did full wipe/data/cache/dalvik. Not overclocking or undervolting. (Don't like to mess with them)
I'm currently using Coredroid v9.4
Used ClockworkMod for flashing.
anything installed aftermarket? like battery mods or boot screens or stuff from the kitchen?
possibly a corrupt install or download, but wanna get as much info before guessing starts

Nope. Everything is CoreDroid stock. Can I safe to assume that it's the Rom itself?

I recently just switched roms to Android Revolution and it works just fine. I redownloaded and reflashed CoreDroid and it's still doing the same thing. Could it be that there's something wrong with the Rom itself or the tweaks?
What radio are you using? Haven't really heard of radios causing crashes like this but it is possible.
Did you format your SD card too? Files from a previous OS on a SD card can cause this issue.
You mentioned that the ROM is all stock. Did you use any apps to restore apps and files?

Radio: 12.56.405.1.
Kernel 2.6.35.14
Yeah, I started making assumptions that it's probably either the radio or kernel but it just doesn't make sense. Everything works perfectly with Android Revolution.
No, I did not format my SD card. Is that recommended for every time I flash a new Rom? (sorry if I'm a bit inexperienced at these things)
Update:
Backed up my SD and reformated it. Still does it.
Rom is in every way, stock. The only app I used to restore my apps is the market, which is not 'google play' or w/e.

It is not needed to format SD card but it is to format System and data before a new rom flash. Mainy when one is build from an DHD port and the other is an Inspire based rom.
Guys I need help, my camera isn't starting Every time I launch the camera it just stuck there with black screen I tried different camera stock, focal, moto but no luck it just hang there with black screen and then all I can do is pop out the battery. I've tried different ROMs root box, Albino CM, AOKP but no luck. Any Solutions Thanks!

probably it will solve it but if the issue persists after ruu installation then you have to deal with a hardware problem i think
